Deb,
These are the Value Points I want you to
put at the top. Bruce may amend my points as I will cc him on
this.
Bruce will also go to the form below and
fill in the relevant information and forward to us.
(1) This business has been around for 30
years or more. The name and phone number are known by thousands of satisfied
customers and their friends. The name recognition and phone # would be worth the
asking price just in advertising value.
(2) Good steady yearly cash flow.
(3) Established manufacturers warranty
centre for:
RCA
Toshiba
Samsung
Phillips
(4) Great downtown location with 2 parking
stalls in the back. Easy free street parking for customers. Sweetheart lease at
$800.00 per month for 1600 square feet of space. All inclusive. Renter pays
heat, light and telephone.
(5) $10,000.00 in stock and
equipment.
(7) It would be reasonable to assume that
a hardworking knowledgeable person could pay for this business in much less than
1 year.
(8) All this adds up to great
value.
We will work with you to establish a website showing
buyers where the value exists in the business you are selling.
Selling a business consists of two
things:
(1)
Reach the marketplace of
buyers.
(2)
Show your buyers the value of your
offering.
A buyer has to see value in the offering before they
will contact you the seller.
The
process is simple; lots of info and pictures.
Go to http://www.pin.ca/form/formbusiness.php
our online form.
Fill out
what is relevant. The info you send will upload to Debby Schlutter our chief
design person. deb@pin.ca 250 744
3558
You need
to show value. This has to be presented showing where the value is located and
why.
Take the
time and work with Debby to make sure this is as perfect as possible with
“value” clearly displayed.
One
thing I can guarantee you.
Your buyer
is reading a newspaper with our advertising in it.
We
can make it easy for them to find you.
My system works but you must get people to see the value
in what you are offering.
(Make sure you get us the right pictures and information
so people see value)
I have a client in
http://www.pin.ca/alberta/05-1111/default.htm
(you can look it up on the Internet)
(Price $1 Million Dollars with gross sales over
$350,000.00 per year).
She had been advertising with a real estate agent for a
year and had no bites at all. She started with us in the middle of November.
People saw value in her Million Dollar motel with gross
of $350,000.00 as she has been averaging almost 2 inquires a
day.
January 16th she called and said she had a $100,000.00
deposit with a deal supposed to close in 90 days.
The key here is value. She is offering value and she is
getting tremendous response.
Sales in the last
60 days
include
Cottonwood Golf Course in
Big Cove Resort priced at
$750,000
Mountain Aire Lodge priced at 1.3
Million
Consort Foods priced at
$550,000
Woodridge Store priced at
$450,000
St.Rose Inn/Chicken Chef asking 1.4

And of course a bunch of smaller
sales.

friend, (Bella Hair Salon) Judy Burgess Phone = 250-883-3313

Our visibility is
growing all the time as we are constantly buying more media. The clients we

YOU CAN VIEW OUR STATS
ONLINE WWW.PIN.CA/STATS
OUR INFORMATION IS ON
MULTIPLE SERVERS SO AT THE END OF EACH MONTH THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE STATS OFF THE
VARIOUS SERVERS AND PUT TOGETHER TO FIND THE REAL NUMBERS. CURRENT MONTH STATS
ARE ALWAYS OUT OF WHACK BUT THE PREVIOUS ARE
CORRECT.
YOU WILL NOTICE WE ARE
NOW GETTING OVER 3,000 INDIVIDUAL USERS PER DAY.
Most of what we deal
with is businesses for sale and business opportunities/franchises, exposing
projects which need funding.
2) PERCEIVED VALUE - The
marketplace is not foolish. No matter how much advertising I do, the asking
price and the words and pictures of your presentation on my site have to convey
a value equal to your asking price. The prospective buyer views the pictures and
reads the words. If they think the value is not there, you will get no response.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO PRICE YOUR OFFERING
CORRECTLY.
We reach the
marketplace. We have interested buyers looking on our website.
When you advertise with
us one of 2 things will happen.
A) Your offering is of
interest to the marketplace at the price you are asking and the marketplace
responds.
OR
B) The marketplace may
look at your offering and decide they are not interested in contacting you as
they don't perceive value at the price you are asking.
3) NEGOTIATING - We are
not real estate agents and we do not negotiate for you. Our job should you
choose to engage us will be to advertise your opportunity to the marketplace
which we do very well. If you should need help with presenting your business or
explaining the value of your business, I suggest having your accountant or
lawyer work with you on this aspect. FINDING A BUYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF SELLING but you must also have a plan for dealing with the
buyer.
We extend credit to you
and allow you to pay us the advertising fee from proceeds of sale. All we
require is that we can ensure payment as we spend hundreds of thousands in
advertising each year and have to be able to recoup those expenditures. Our
advertising fee is set at the start and is not dependent upon any particular
sale/price being achieved.
We have been at this for
7 years. Our growth rate increases each year. We work on a “gather and funnel”
principle. We attract/gather the opportunity seeker as they look thru the USA
Today, Globe and Mail,
You will find we are at
or very near the top on hundreds if not thousands of searches on Google and
other search engine searches. Once someone finds our website they generally
return as we have earned their respect and have real opportunities available for
every size and taste.
